Slow file transfer
Hi all,
I have a problem that I hope maybe someone out there can help me with.
I have a very slow transfer between my computer and my NAS (Ultra 4+ with 2x Seagate ST2000DL003-9VT166 [1863 GB]). If I want to transfer a large file it takes forever. If I want to transfer a folder with 50 pictures, it could take whole day, without exaggerating.
There is no problem moving or copying files localy, the problem is the transfer between a computer (any computer, tried three different computers) -----> NAS.
I'm not sure what kind of information you all need to be able to find the problem so here are some that might have something to do with it.
Router: Netgear DIR-655 with latest firmware (1.31EU).
Network card on computer: Realtek PCIe Gigabite card, latest drivers
Network settings on NAS:
Full-duplex
MTU: 1500
Workgroup: Same as computer
I have the following installed on NAS:
AirVideo
BitTorrent
DNSoMatic
ffmpeg
PHP5GD (not active)
ReadyNAS Remote (not active)
ReadyNAS Photos II (not active)
Transmission (not active)
uTorrent
I don't know if this has to do with anything...
I pressed the button "Show errors" in Frontview, network settings, and received the following information:
Nätverksfel [Ethernet 1]
TX-paket 58157883
TX-fel 0 (error)
TX-nedstängningar 0
TX-överskridningar 0
TX-medium 0
RX-paket 36989567
RX-fel 13684043 (error)
RX stängs ned 31 (closed)
RX-överskridningar 0
RX-ram 13684043
Kollisioner 0
(Within () is my translated note)
If you need any more information about my NAS, don't hesitate to ask... I really don't think it should take this long time to transfer files or folders between computer and NAS...
Could the router be the bad link here? According to Compatibility List, Netgear DIR-655 is not ok with a NAS. Will all problems be solved if I should buy a new router? :D If so, is WNDR3700 the best choice? Or should it work fine with DIR-655?
Please help!

I am completely new to this stuff, and all the information around here isn't really encouraging...
This is a support forum - people post when they have problems and often do not post updates when they resolve those problems (like most of the HD streaming issues on x86 NAS has been traced backed to windows NIC driver issues) - therefore most of the content will reflect that.
You do have a solid point there...
Thanks.- I tried different drivers for my Realtek but no difference. I also tried transfer file using FTP and still very slow, same low speed. A lot of information here and a lot that I don't understand. I read that someone changed some numbers on something called MTU. Someone changed the numbers from 1500 to 9000 something like that and got higher speed. Is this something I should try? If so, how do I change this MTU? (I'm feeling very newbee right now :) )
- If you are still directly connected, and none of the driver updates improve the situation, then I would suggest you contact tech support, particularly if you are continuing to have high RX errors.
